    The idea that we require children to go to school but don’t feed them healthy food automatically when they’re in class is insane. We’ve got money for all the fighter jets but can’t feed kids.

      The sad thing, is that there are people out there the seem to think that “hunger is a good motivator”.

      And I really just want them to be hungry for the remainder of their lives.

        Hunger is a terrible motivator for kids in school. How the hell are they supposed to know what The Scarlet Letter is talking about when they haven’t eaten?
